We're certainly not using it on everything . So what is it bad to use on and why?

Thanks

Nice work!

So when are you guys going to get your own message board like all the other local shops?

I was thinking the same thing, let us finish these first batch of cars and I'm sure we'll be more streamlined by then.

Thats a good idea Ed!

On Tuesday Adam and Chris trailered in another bugeye with a blown head gasket and warped head and about 140k miles on the clock. The motor was removed, disassembled and inspected yesterday. The customer is deciding what direction to go with the build but either way there will be another badass bugeye leaving here next week

Thanks

We also had another 07 STI come in last night for a compression test... it was down to 90psi on Cylinder #2 with only 15k miles on the engine on the stock turbo. The car had previously been tuned by another shop... The 07's are proving to be very picky!

Thanks

^^we had a bugeye come in with 172k on the clock and it was still going pretty strong. it seems to be hit and miss, but it's cool to see boosted engines lasting this long!

We had another bugeye WRX roll in that just got a new setup and tune from another shop in January. Compression is down on cyl #2 and leakdown is at 40% and coming out of the oil filler neck. That generally means a blown ring or ringland. The customer decided to go with a 2.5l shortblock, so this is the next car on the waiting list for a build.

We also have a badass wagon build, a bugeye-STI conversion and an RS-STI conversion, and another 500whp STI build, all waiting in line. These should keep us busy for a while .

Look for updates on these cool projects as we progress.

Thanks
